Brian,
      As an addendum to my thought, also lay out a timeline when the apps 
will go away in head and also further set a timeframe when compile options 
will be removed to allow those apps to be installed (3-6 months?). Despite 
my agreement with compatibility, I entirely agree with the plan to phase 
out that class of apps.
